I had the most relaxing time at the spa this last weekend. I enjoyed the dry sauna, steam room, hot…read moretub and a 60 minute relaxation massage. It was LOVELY. The interior decor reminded me of a mountain lodge with the dark wood and Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired design; it was beautiful. I wish the fire by the hot tub had been lit; it would have added to the ambiance and to my experience. However, every other amenity had been considered. The higher end Aveda toiletries were a luxury I very much enjoyed when I showered after my massage. My masseuse was Dawson, and he was fantastic. I get regular massages at all different spas, and I have to say that my massage with him was one of the most relaxing I've ever had. He communicated well and had excellent technique. I never fall asleep during massages and I almost did here - 3 times! I would definitely request him by name the next time I return. Overall I was very impressed with this spa. I sat outside in the rocking chairs for an hour afterward chatting with friends - the only thing that was missing was coffee delivery! Otherwise it was a 10/10.

He gave me a thoroughly impressive deep tissue massage, the most intense and effective of my life. Literally, food tasted better after this massage. He is not only competent, he is talented at sussing out knots and returning your body closer to its factory settings. I am devastated he does not live closer to the cities. (Apologies to his regular clients who would probably prefer I not spill the beans.)

It was a gift of new connection and communication that she was curious to learn about and attune to me. I could notice the benefits immediately and could tell that my body was thankful and processing the support with improving circulation and range of motion in my legs and neck. If you have a desire for more self connection and self care I recommend Mandy and her ability to be conscious of how the body is meant to function and how to help with getting you to your desired outcome when it comes to peace of mind and regeneration.

Manicure, pedicure and massage. IF your priority for a mani-pedi is the aesthetic environment then…read morethis is a solid five stars! The view cannot be beat; you look outward to the most gorgeous view of Gull Lake - stunning! However, if your priority is a quality service then skip the manicure for sure. My manicure did not last 4 hours before it started to chip. By 24 hours, I had only three fully intact nails with polish. The nail tech used Dazzle Dry, which peeled within hours. HOWEVER, I strongly suspect the peeling occurred because the nail tech did not have me wash my hands after applying oil. Also, my pedicure is going strong with the same Dazzle Dry color (no oil). I do not expect any nail polish could perform with oil being laid down as a foundation. Net, it began peeling immediately. I suspect the nail tech is new to the profession based on the oil error, haphazard filing and service length (my appt ran 30 mins long). On the positive side, she was absolutely lovely to converse with (5-star for friendliness!). In fact, she gave us many dining pointers that led to the best meal we had at Classic Grill. I was there for the experience, so I did not complain. BUT, my experience is worth sharing in case your priority is a great nail service; you will not find it at The Spa at Madden's (at least not with the 2024 nail tech). To add, I selected a topper for my toes, but the same nail tech ran out of time to apply it, so I was sent off without the desired topper, and my massage therapist provided an awkward public scolding for my service running long. Main/Pedi - Service = 0, Experience = 5, Total Score = 2. Deep tissue massage - I gave explicit instructions upfront for the massage therapist to spend the majority of the 90-minute service on my neck and back. She saved my back until the last 10-15 minutes. Also, the pressure was definitely not deep tissue. Service = 1, Experience = 3, Total Score = 2 As a visitor to Madden's Spa over 18 years I wanted to LOVE my "spa day", BUT it was an epic fail, especially given I paid nearly $600 for my services and a pedicure for my SO. Please do better next season, The Spa at Madden's. 2024 didn't live up to my past experiences and arguably wouldn't meet anyone's expectations. I want to return in 2025, but if there isn't a substantial improvement it will be my last visit to The Spa at Madden's. Thank you for listening to my feedback! I hope changes will be afoot for 2025. I really am a fan and want to see you succeed!
